My new ( Magnoli ) Raiders jacket arrived today!!!!

[djd]

[Indiana Jake]

Made by?

[Kt Templar]

Magnoli?

[djd]

Who do you think?

I didn't want to make it too easy! It's lamb- very nice hide that feels like it will drape like a Raiders jacket should.

[djd]

Doh! KT wins the prize

It's his type A jacket. Very nice too I think.

[knibs7]

looks like a Magnoli to me

[knibs7]

D'oh! Someone beat me to it LOL

[St. Dumas]

Good fit in the shoulders. Nice choice.

[RCSignals]

Very nice. Nice fit.
Has Magnoli made changes to his pattern?

[Holt]

I helped Magnoli with a few detail changes on his pattern.

the jacket is AMAZING.

I dig it.

[djd]

Well between you you've done a great job mate!

I'm very happy with the fit and most importantly it feels Raiders-y to me

[crismans]

I hate the internet being out at work. Besides having to concentrate on work stuff (instead of more important jacket details), I miss things like this. I would have guessed Magnoli because of the sliders.

Great jacket! Looks like superb fit and the look seems really spot on.

Hey, that's kind of you to say so. I haven't taken it off since it arrived. I've had a Wested and a Todd custom before but I think this is my favourite - to be honest I can't fault it (hey, so maybe I won't have to buy another one ....)

[whipcracker]

That is a VERY nice Jacket! All (hail) Magnoli, no?!

It fits you very well. It literally screams Raiders to me. Wear it in good health and many, many adventures...!

Would you mind posting a bunch of detail shots like other people do with their Nowaks?
Holt said once the the world needs more Magnoli gear and I agree with him. That is a way nice jacket. How does it feel? what is the hide like? Does it have that feel like your not wearing a jacket feel?


That is definitely on my list of gear to get, that and an Explorador 36.

[Holt]

what I dig about his jackets is the high raiders yolk.

[Texan Scott]

Yeah, the sliders gave it away. Good Raiders bash in that hat as well!


Does a high or low yoke have a bearing in the overall fit of the jacket?

Thanks- I'll post some detail pics tomorrow.

It feels really good. Very light weight in terms of the hide used. Doesn't feel flimsy though. The issue I always had with my Wested is that it seemed too substantial for a Raiders jacket - more rigid like a LC or CS. The Magnoli looks very well put together in terms of construction. It looks like there's been a lot of attention to detail. Three inside pockets - one with a zip. Lining in the sleeves is a satin type material and a cotton (?) lining for the body.

I'd agree with Holt about Magnoli gear. Everything I've got from him seems top of the range. We're very lucky to have Magnoli and Todd who really care about getting stuff RIGHT

[CM]

That's one heck of a jacket. Lovely!

[djd]

Cheers! That's my Todds Uptowner. I love the look of it too

[Rundquist]

Both jacket and hat look the part for sure.

[matt black]

Lovely looking jacket djd and you wear it well. I've always wanted a Magnoli.

[Holt]

hey D. is this todd's uptowner?

[DeWayne]

Looks fantastic! I really dig the high yoke as well.

[djd]

hey D. is this todd's uptowner?

Yes mate, Uptowner

[djd]

A few detail pics

[Raskolnikov]

Your jacket is truly a Raiders!! Great work by Magnoli, really beautiful.
How much is the pleat depth?
Regards,
Rask

[djd]

If you tell me where to measure from I'll let you know

[Raskolnikov]

Good question. I'm not sure too about the proper way to do it . I gues it should be as near as possible to the yoke seam.

[crismans]

If you tell me where to measure from I'll let you know

Just take your best guess on where to measure. I used to do that and drive poor Holt crazy.

[djd]

[Indyzane]

Killer looking jacket my friend!

[Chewbacca Jones]

That is one of the nicest Magnoli's I've seen, counting my own. Way to go. Do I see some light distressing there?

[hoose55]

Seriously, that jacket looks perfect. I also like the high yoke, that's one of my favorite things about the Raiders jacket!
Congratulations,
J-

[crismans]

The Raiders jacket did have a high yoke (nothing everyone here doesn't know) so this is a major detail that Magnoli gets spot on.

[djd]

Yes Chewie it came lightly distressed. You know, I'm usually one to beat the be-jezuz out of any Indy jacket I get by way of artificially distressing- however with this one it has the 'look' so well already I don't feel the need

[djd]

One thing I have done today is get some boling water and dip a cloth in it then wipe this over the surface of the jacket. It's done a really good job of taking the shine off the surface (not that it was as shiney as a Wested lamb). I've used the hot shower treatment before but didn't want to risk shrinking this one

[Indiana Dymond]

Well I know what jacket I'll be ordering now!

I take it it's lamb? I see Magnoli is offering goat as well,anyone seen that?

[djd]

Having been wearing my Magnoli almost constantly all week it's really started to crumple up nicely and has achieved an even greater Raiders vibe

I also gave the collar a soaking and screwed it up a bit which has helped withe the look. I hope to get some pics tonight and post them.

[JC1972]

I like your jacket djd. Too bad there are not enough Magnoli Indy jackets out there.
